Re: Checking Value or element in XSL

Hi Arul,
  Here is a slightly modified XSL -

<xsl:for-each select="child::*">
  <cs>
    <xsl:attribute name="attribute">
      <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="value">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="normalize-space(text()) = ''">
	  <xsl:for-each select="child::*">
	    <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
            <xsl:if test="position() != last()">
              <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
            </xsl:if>  
	  </xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
	  <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
	</xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:attribute>
  </cs>
</xsl:for-each>

Please notice the use of normalize-space() function
(which makes all the difference).

This node (1)
<Name>
  <FirstName>Arul</FirstName>
  <LastName>Raj</LastName>
</Name>

is different from (2)
<Name><FirstName>Arul</FirstName><LastName>Raj</LastName></Name>

in case (1), a text node after <Name> is not empty;
because it has white characters(newline & blank
spaces).

Regards,
Mukul
